Advantages: memory feature, delay start option

Disadvantages: wash time longer than stated

I recently purchased this washing machine as a replacement for an older, tired Whirlpool Washer/Dryer. My previous machine was a 1000rpm speed and was deafeningly loud.

Although I was initially dubious by the claims of the machines "super silent" features, I was very impressed by the performance that the machine gives whilst still being quiet. Even on the full 1600 spin it is quite quiet - not silent obviously, but when purchasing, the sales team were honest and friendly enough to point out that super silent doesn't mean silent and that there would be some noise.
The digital display is very easy to understand and the pre-programmed options make washing very easy. Functions such as Bed and Bath, which washes on a 60degree temperature, are very helpful and bedding and bathware comes out feeling very clean and refreshed. Many of the functions can be personalised as well with extra features such as Eco Wash and Time Saver - which, depending on spin speed and temperature, states to be as low as 30 minutes.
The only thing i have been having any problems with is the timer.

Summary: very good machine on the whole, much better than my old one and not to expensive
